November 9, 2024 Records of the Day

With hits like “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On,” it seemed like Jerry Lee Lewis’ star would burn bright for a long time, that is until he married his 13-year old cousin. The hits stopped. The concerts stopped. His star faded even with classics like “Great Balls of Fire,” which is worth up to $150.00 with its picture sleeve. Then, after several years, memories faded and the comeback was on with the album, “The Return of Rock.” Released on Smash Records in 1965, a copy can get you $100.00 today. It met with good success but nothing like the fame he gained when his Country Music career brought him back to the top of the charts.(Find the values for every record by Jerry Lee Lewis and by over 75,000 other recording artist in our “Record Appraisal Guide,” available in the left hand column.)
